So, the verification process said there was no problem. So, is that step just BS screen to make use feel better about the OTA update file?
Downloaded OTA and got the 1271 restore error. I had to throw it into restore mode by holding down the home and power button and releasing the power button. Just like the old days when jailbreaking.
I ended up having to restore from scratch and my icloud restore is downloading now. Not the end of the world, just annoying.

My 6s got "bricked" doing the OTA update. On the iTunes logo. Looks like I am able to download the update through iTunes but it'll take some time.
My iPad Mini 4 update went OTA and went swmmingly. It has some bugs I've noticed, though, but the OS is running fine in general.

no, I'm pretty certain the history of the term bricked means that an electric component's been rendered useless to the point were it's only remaining use is as a brick to hold upon a door.
in this case, your $600 phone is not worthless. The whole apple update thing is not doubt a problem and unconvinced, but it there is a solution.
I am BLOWN AWAY that people here still upgrade when Apple releases something new.
Apple has been bricking devices for years now.
Keynote is finally usable after years of painful crashing.
Are people here hypnotized in some way?
What am I missing?
I understand that. I don't see how that's relevant, though. Just because Apple said the iPad Pro can replace your laptop doesn't mean you should throw it out the window.
It's gimmicky and pointless but it grows on you.
We're stuck with this UI for probably 2 years.
My wife hit update at 10:01 AM PDT this morning and her phone was bricked. iPhone 6s Plus that was running 9.3.5. Luckily I was able to guide her through the iTunes+USB update process over the home phone and she's up and running. She missed her morning event though so not exactly the most convenient issue. Worried to tell my other family and friends to update...
im not backed up (I'm super upset but obviously its my own fault) but my iTunes wasn't up to date so I'm updating that first then i will plug it back in and see what happens?before resorting to restore
That doesn't sound plausible. iOS checks the hash of the downloaded firmware files before updating (or at least that's what it's supposed to do). If it allowed flashing corrupted files, that would be a huge flaw.
Saw this article too late, it just happend to me(iPhone 6s)
Pays to wait a little when Apple releases a major iOS release. I know the temptation is there to update day one, but this lately has been the result.
The new iOS 10 update, released today, appears to be causing problems for some iPad and iPhone owners who are installing it over-the-air. On the MacRumors forums, we're seeing multiple reports from users who have attempted to install iOS 10 and have had their devices put into recovery mode, requiring a restore.
It does not seem to be limited to a single device, but most reports from iPad owners are coming from those who have the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which has had trouble with new software releases in the past. Multiple iPhone models also appear to be affected, including the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, and iPhone SE. From MacRumors forum member bit_bucket: Users who have their iOS 10 devices bricked by the update may need to do an iTunes restore if the update fails, which will erase all data. Some users have had their iPhones updated successfully through iTunes after the over-the-air update has failed and haven't needed to restore, but it has not been successful for other users. Here's the message users are receiving:In light of the installation issues some users are facing, those who are concerned about their devices being sent into recovery mode and bricked should hold off on downloading the iOS 10 update over the air for the time being until more information can be uncovered.
It appears iOS 10 installs through iTunes are not affected, so that remains a viable method for obtaining the iOS 10 update today. Ahead of installing iOS 10, either over the air or through iTunes, a backup should be made.
Update:Apple has given a statement on the issue that caused the iOS 10 update to fail over the air, and says it has now been fixed.
"We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers. Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help.
